This house is literally his dream and his girlfriend’s too, and if his offer is accepted, that’s going to be a big step towards their future and a big investment in that as well.
Given the fact that his girlfriend has been so previously agreeable about how much he wants to spend on an engagement ring and the fact that he thinks it’s better to spend more money on their future home, imagine his surprise at what went down yesterday on Christmas.
He and his girlfriend spent Christmas day with her family, and they are all aware of the fact that he and his girlfriend have been looking at homes that he will be buying for them.
His girlfriend’s family wondered if he was going to propose to her soon, and he insisted that he would pretty soon after he buys a house for them.
He joked with his girlfriend that “the down payment will dictate the ring size” and then he winked at his girlfriend.
His girlfriend’s family found his joke funny, but she got extremely upset and told her entire family what his salary is, before accusing him of being cheap.
“She then turned red and blurted out how much I make and that my cheap-*** won’t buy more than a $5K ring for her, that she’s spoken about it with her friends and they all agree it shows a lack of commitment from me especially when I can “easily afford so many times that,” he said.
“She began naming off how much her friend’s fiancés and husbands have spent on their rings; how could I be so rude to give her such an inadequate ring. It would be embarrassing to compare to her friends or show to anyone.”
His girlfriend thinks that he should be spending $20,000 or more on the ring than he feels comfortable spending, and remember, he told her all along what he thought he should spend.
Since he is making more money than ever and can afford a very nice house for them to live in, his girlfriend feels entitled to a more expensive ring.
